Digital vs. Patient Interoperability

July 20, 2020

A couple weeks back the Infoway Digital Podcast delved into into Patient Empowerment with Annette McKinnon, Aidan Scott & our own PJ Mierau.

This is a frank, raw conversation exploring how digital interoperability, patient interoperability & government response are colliding in the age of COVID 19.

Folks often fail to recognize that personal health can be gained at the expense of wellness. As industrialized societies have come to idolize individual health they have placed greater emphasis on life style choices and self care and less on shared space and belonging. 1/2

@PatientCritical My doc office does not take messages if they are on the line. I can’t call back x 5 when I’m at work. No calls answered during lunch. Can take weeks to get through to schedule an appointment

When you miss a Dr's call:
-no message
-NO second call attempt
-call display blocked

When a Dr misses your call:
-callback=busy signal
-callback=long hold
-result? Reschedule apptmt

PTSD is real.

Without interoperability & easy, universal access to data, the right to access it means little.

Is there a seat for patients to help @nshealth design healthdata access that works for them?

Talking to a vaccine-hesitant family member or friend? Those conversations tough but so important.

My (not comprehensive) list of things to consider.

Politics is not science based.

Society isn't about requiring a burden of proof before exercising compassion.

Evidence & studies are not the enemy of caring but can be leveraged as such.

I believe people need to invest more in society -& yes, politics- before we see a change.

The problem is? We ARE content to wait...until we are drowning.

We ALL need to challenge ANY authorities happy with status quo.

I'm not advocating we burn our bridges, but we've stopped trying to hold authority's feet to the fire.

We're comfortable until we're actively scared.

Where would YOU send an overwhelmed caregiver looking for resources, checklists & articles about bringing a loved one home after major surgery?

11/ Why is Delta scarier? First, it appears to be even more infectious than the Alpha variant, probably by a similar amount (~40% more infectious than Alpha.)(h/t @EricTopol for @BBC table below) This means the same exposure that a person might have had last year is now about…

Danyaal nails the danger of normalizing disconnected #digitalhealth, marketed solely for profit.

There's no rollout 2.0 for digital health: it will be what we let it be. Time to pay attention to the slippery slope.

The movement led by #caregivers & #patients in Canada to make the care in healthcare a verb, not a noun, not a place, not a system is not a fad, not the healthcare model du’jour.

We’re starting a #healthcare movement in this country that there is no going back from.
